Wink Hub for My Mom

Hi Brad,

My mom has expressed interest in adding some smart things to her house. Currently I have two Lutron switches installed to some outside lights so that they turn on/off at dawn and dusk. She also has a ring video doorbell. She is a longtime Samsung user, and doesn’t upgrade her phone too often so I think that she will be on Android for the time being.

I was thinking of getting her a Wink Hub w/ a Google Home voice assistant (although I don’t think she’s ready to talk to the house yet). Given that Android doesn’t have a HomeKit-like system, it seemed like this would be a good way to go while maintaining the flexibility to jump to Alexa down the road if needed.

Do you have any thoughts? I know that you use Alexa at home, but I understand that the Alexa app is awful.

Thanks,

Alex
